A large fire broke out in eastern Moscow. Locals reported hearing an explosion before flames spread. Thick black smoke began drifting over nearby residential areas, while the exact cause of the blaze remains unclear. #Russia

‘Hungary, Europe!’ Spontaneous chant I just heard on streets of Budapest … Supermajority means Tisza really can dismantle the Orban system… and Orban has conceded… It will be a tough road ahead but truly hard to imagine a better result… I’ll be writing about it soon…

‼️ Shahed kamikaze drones launched by Iran toward Cyprus were partially manufactured in Russia using western components. Video footage shows a Russian-made “Kometa” satellite navigation module recovered from one of the Shahed drones used in the attack.

Putin is making Russia small again: ”Our model suggests that Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead. That would mean one in 25 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 49 may have been killed or severely wounded since the start of the full-scale war.”

This really shows where America’s priorities are now, and how little it actually cares about Ukraine, its sovereignty, or its territorial integrity. Trump and his circle are focused only on media wins. The U.S. has completely lost its credibility as the so-called guardian of democracy and freedom.

1/ Far too many wargames and simulations of how Russia might move against a NATO neighbour treat the front-line states as a military vacuum, or an empty chessboard where it is only the moves of Russia and of slowly-arriving NATO reinforcements that count. But that's far from the truth.

Russia's fiscal situation is worse than expected: The consolidated budget had a deficit of nearly 4% of GDP in 2025. Regions are under pressure from increasing war costs. Social funds were forced to draw down their reserves after federal transfers were cut. Read: open.substack.com/pub/janisklu...

Russia’s consolidated budget deficit reached almost 4% of GDP in 2025
As Russian regions shoulder more war costs and social security funds are depleted, the consolidated budget balance has deteriorated far more than expected.

As if they haven't been trying that for the last almost 4 years already. It's not a "threat". "Moscow's terms" are mostly the same as the very objectives of the war. The "peace talks" remain a largely meaningless process to influence or manipulate Trump.

If Ukraine actually gave up Donbas (which is simply not feasible and almost certainly won't happen), this would go down on history as one of the biggest mistakes ever made. It would not lead to peace, Russia would keep attacking, just from a much better starting position.
